Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3899-3953, July 2026.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Expression of osteonectin in articular cartilage of osteoarthritic knees.

Acta medica Okayama, 1997
The expression of osteonectin (ON) in osteoarthritic articular cartilage was investigated by enzyme immunohistochemistry and colloidal gold immunoelectron microscopy. A total of 96 specimens from 9 knees of 8 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) were examined. In OA cartilage, ON-positive cells varied in distribution and were not seen in all the specimens

Decreased CD90 expression in human mesenchymal stem cells by applying mechanical stimulation

Head & Face Medicine, 2006
Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent cells which can differentiate along osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of mechanical force as a specific physiological ...

Immunolocalization of markers for bone formation during guided bone regeneration in osteopenic rats

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2014
Objective The aim of this paper was to evaluate the repair of onlay autogenous bone grafts covered or not covered by an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membrane using immunohistochemistry in rats with induced estrogen deficiency.

Osteonectin Influences Growth and Invasion of Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Annals of Surgery, 2005
We sought to examine the expression and functional role of osteonectin in primary and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).The glycoprotein osteonectin plays a vital role in cell-matrix interactions and is involved in various biologic processes.

Enhancement of differentiation and mineralisation of osteoblast-like cells by degenerate electrical waveform in an in vitro electrical stimulation model compared to capacitive coupling.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Electrical stimulation (ES) is effective in enhancing bone healing, however the best electrical waveform, mode of application and mechanisms remains unclear.

Impaired wound healing in mice deficient in a matricellular protein SPARC (osteonectin, BM-40)

BMC Cell Biology, 2001
Background SPARC is a matricellular protein involved in cell-matrix interactions. From expression patterns at the wound site and in vitro studies, SPARC has been implicated in the control of wound healing.

Retinoic acid increases the effect of bone morphogenetic protein type 2 on osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2019
Bone morphogenetic protein type 2 (BMP-2) and retinoic acid (RA) are osteoinductive factors that stimulate endogenous mechanisms of bone repair which can be applied on management of osseous defects in oral and maxillofacial fields.
